London's British Film Institute lines up a summer programme of great genre movies and TV

If you live in, or close to, London this could be your chance to watch some great SF classics on the big screen. In July is hosting a two-month season surveying "the future hum💞an condition", with a substantial survey of science fiction in film and TV.

The films, which range from Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Tarkovsky's Solaris, ask what it reall🅷y means to be human.

From June, the line-up will examine how televi🍃sion has sought to deepen our understanding of science - it'll also be considering the way scientists ꦡand their work have been depicted on screen.

In August, the season changes to reflect one of o🐠ur most compelling preoccupations: how human experience and society will evolve in the future. From Luc Besson's The Last Battle to Terryꦛ Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys, the BFI will be showcasing films that conjure disturbing post-apocalyptic visions of the future.
